What is AbbeyCross?
AbbeyCross is a financial technology firm founded to tackle the systemic issues plaguing wholesale cross-border payments.

The company's founders bring extensive experience from the banking and payments sectors, having grappled with these challenges for years before establishing AbbeyCross.
